Welcome to the Danish Reproducibility Network!
The Danish Reproducibility Network (DKRN) is a peer-led consortium located in Denmark. It follows an organisational format adopted internationally as nationwide “Reproducibility Networks”. The DKRN collaborates with the other Reproducibility Networks whilst remaining a unique and independent community.
Our mission
DKRN is a platform that connects Denmark-based researchers aiming to promote, facilitate and educate about open, reproducible and robust research. We aim to achieve this through fostering collaborations on projects and through the organisation of events. Our work will ensure that Denmark remains an integral part of world-leading efforts contributing to the dissemination of best research practices and positive culture change in academia.
More information
We recently published a paper about the conceptualization, organizational structure and purpose of the network in BMC Research Notes: A grassroots approach to peer support by the Danish Reproducibility Network
This infographic gives an overview of the structure we envision:

Want to join us? Or just keep an eye?
Being part of the network means that you are signed up to our communication channels so that you can receive information from us. There are two ways to stay in the loop:
- Sign up to the mailing list at the bottom of this page
- Send us an email and ask to be added to our Slack workspace where we exchange ideas, post about events and training opportunities - danish.repro@gmail.com
If you want, you can also contribute to the network. All contributions matter - big and small. Here is what you can do:
- Tell your colleagues about the events we organise and encourage them to participate.
- Attend our general network meetings where you can meet other people within the network.
- Propose an idea for an activity - or share ideas about how the network can develop and grow.
- Become a node lead.
Our consortium welcomes contributions from researchers at all academic levels from all research disciplines, librarians, lab and research managers, research and academic educators as well as representatives of societies, associations and grant funding organisations. Get in touch with us directly at danish.repro@gmail.com
Join discussions at our Copenhagen-based ReproducibiliTea Journal Club meetings
You can join informal discussion sessions focusing on open and reproducible science. This is open to all ECRs (PhD students and postdocs) as well as senior academics and anyone interested in research.
Follow the journal club’s LinkedIn Page to see advertisements of all upcoming sessions.
We are meeting every two months, on the last Friday of the month.
If you have questions, email Stefana at stefana.aicoboaie.01@regionh.dk or at jcreproducibilitea@gmail.com.
Or if you are based outside of Copenhagen, perhaps you want to start your own journal club?
ReproducibiliTea Journal Club is a global ECR initiative. You can get involved in the organisation of the journal club and meet other ECRs in other institutions and countries who do similar activities.
Upcoming events
National Reproducibility & Research Data Event: What matters to researchers and research support?
The National RDM Network, DeiC and DKRN invite to a full-day network meeting on Promoting Reproducibility in Research, June 10th, 2026.
Venue: DTU Library – Lyngby Campus Building 101D Anker Engelunds Vej 1 2800 Kgs. Lyngby
Time: 10:00 – 16:00 (arrival from 09:30) - Coffee and lunch will be included
ABOUT THE NATIONAL REPRODUCIBILITY & RESEARCH DATA EVENT
The day will be divided into two sessions. Session 1 will constitute lightning talks and posters submitted by attendees. Session 2 is a structured workshop with group work and plenary discussion. The workshop is open to researchers and research support staff. The aim is to highlight different perspectives on reproducibility and gain an understanding about the current knowledge, common practices, training needs, and prospects for scaling up reproducibility.
Session 1: Lightning talks and posters The National Reproducibility & Research Data Event is seeking talks and posters describing research, research support, challenges and innovations in all areas of reproducibility. We are accepting proposals from researchers at any career level and research support staff. Presentations should focus on reproducible research practices relevant to the presenter’s own work. We also encourage proposals describing collaborative reproducibility projects, especially where collaborators are sought.
Event topics:
- How to introduce and implement reproducible research practices in a research team
- How to develop basic research skills for reproducible research in your field
- How you are working with reproducibility in your research or in research support
- Collaborative reproducibility projects
- How to incentivise reproducibility in your research field
- Implications of irreproducible research in your research field
- How to publish a reproducible research report
- Publication processes and reproducibility verification
- Reproducibility in requirements from funders or publishers
- How to detect reproducibility concerns in already published research
- How research data management supports reproducible workflows
- Your experiences using software and tools that promote or support reproducibility
- Experiences creating policies for reproducibility
Session 2: Reproducibility and me? How to evaluate and scale up your reproducibility practices
In this workshop you will:
- learn to assess current reproducibility practice within your organisation, department, project group or research community
- exchange ideas on possible future priorities and directions for reproducible practices.
- identify “enablers” that can steer conversations about scaling up reproducibility
The workshop will be hands-on and active discussions facilitated by the KE Reproducibility Framework, that is the result of work from the European partnership Knowledge Exchange. The framework is described more in detail in the report “Framework for scaling up reproducibility practices in research organisations”
LIGHTNING TALK AND POSTER PROPOSAL FORMAT
Lightning talks The lightning talk is a slide presentation that takes 10 minutes with 5 additional minutes for questions.
Poster Presentation Guidelines Your poster will be displayed throughout the event day. During the poster session, which is part of Session 1, you are expected to stand by your poster, ready to present your work and engage in discussion with attendees. To foster creativity and innovation, posters may be in any paper format and size, provided the content remains clear and legible for the audience
HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR PROPOSAL All submissions must be written in English. Submit a short abstract describing your talk or poster, with a maximum of 250 words. The proposal should concisely describe the content and objectives of your talk or poster.
Proposals with creative formats that foster lively interactions between participants are highly encouraged.
WHERE TO SUBMIT PROPOSALS AND REGISTER Submit your proposals via the registration form for the National reproducibility and research data event
IMPORTANT DEADLINES
Deadline for submission of a proposal for a lightning talk or poster: 8th May, 2026
Deadline for event registration: 26th May, 2026
